Cell Cycle Control

Cyclin-Cdk complexes


How do different cyclin/Cdk complexes trigger different cell cycle events?

  • Cyclin proteins don't just activate their Cdk partners but direct them to specific target proteins

This results in:

  • Cyclin-Cdk complexes phosphorylating different substrate proteins

Same cyclin-Cdk complexes can induce different effects at different times
